FAQ's
Open-heart surgery becomes necessary for complex cardiac procedures such as CABG, heart valve repair, or corrections of congenital heart defects. Your cardiologist will assess your specific condition to determine if this approach is required.
After bypass surgery, it’s crucial to follow your doctor’s recommendations for managing metabolic disorders and adhere to prescribed medications consistently. Patients are advised to refrain from smoking, using tobacco products, and consuming alcohol. Regular exercise is vital for maintaining heart health, but intense physical activity should be avoided initially. Instead, activities like brisk walking or light jogging, especially after sternum healing, are recommended. Swimming and other low-impact sports can also be beneficial.
A minimum of 45 minutes to one hour of exercise, four days a week, is generally sufficient. However, pay attention to any signs such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting during exercise. If these symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly. It’s advisable to avoid exercising in extreme weather conditions, immediately after meals, or when feeling excessively hungry.
